2008 USP(G)ET pt. II: counting the days to 2012 primary thread 1

McCain definitely helped recharge David Letterman's economy for the short term.

o nate stfu

McCain did manage to briefly distract attention from Rick Davis (and Palin's awful Katie Couric performance.) That's some kind of accomplishment, I guess.

The night of the VP debate I'll be at My Bloody Valentine. I think they should do a live soundtrack.

Now Rick Davis will only have all of October to poop himself instead of all of October and the last week of September

Not a nice thing to say about Biden!

I didn't know the guys from powerline posted here!

McCain's numbers are in the tank o. nate, or did you not notice that he just lost Michigan.

OK, guys, go back to your "everything McCain does is mind-bogglingly stupid" bubble and ignore the fact that this election remains incredibly close.

No, it isn't.

Well a coworker just passed on this story that some friend of his who listens to a lot of talk radio out here is claiming this is all to disguise the fact that McCain's had a stroke. Of course.

I love seeing those pics of the cabinet room because those chairs are so comfortable. The best part of the Clinton presidential museum is sitting in them in the cabinet room replica room.

it got a lot less close over the last 7 days is all

Thinking that this election is close and definitely not game over ≠ McCain was a genius this week

Where is it close? North Carolina? Florida? Let's set the bar a little lower for the guy.

it's close ON MARS

the fact that McCain's had a stroke.

This would not surprise me!

But would Palin touch it?

It's bullshit to call someone a genius when a long-shot stunt works. Genius ≠ luck.

Obviously the best thing to do after having a stroke is to cancel a Letterman appearance but instead interview Katie Couric.

I like the idea of McCain as the interviewer.

"Why were you asking Sarah all those mean questions?"

stroke scenario seems highly unlikely. even so, i certainly wouldn't want an Obama victory to be "sullied" by his beating an ailing opponent. goddam that's all you'd hear for the next 4+ years.

did it stop Thomas Dewey in '44?

(he lost, but still)

It's bullshit to call someone a genius when a long-shot stunt works.

hahaha, he panicked and pushed all-in with an unsuited A-6.

xxxpost -- I hope it's not true too, I just wouldn't be surprised.

hahaha, he panicked and pushed all-in with an unsuited A-6.

Dude, he had the 6 paired, and he had pot odds! Shut the fuck up and play your cards!

I don't think anybody who wasn't already schizoid and blessed against witchcraft bought that line of shit, nate.

The economy is a series of tubes

mccain hired him

I think it's important to be skeptical regarding electoral politics, but spinning how this week has gone as positive isn't skepticism, it's credulity.

new SUSA and R2000 polls have Obama within 2 and 1 points, respectively, in MO

The Obama campaign is trying to get us Kansas volunteers to go to MO and canvas; maybe it's now worth the time and expense.

QUEEN OF THE WILD FRONTIER
(Tune of Davy Crockett)
She goes ice fishing in the frozen land,
Races snow mobiles right beside her man.
Goes moose hunting and flys her own plane,
Will be vice president beside John McCain.
Sarah, Sarah Palin, queen of the wild frontier.
She sold the Govenor's jet there on E-Bay,
Looked at the limosines, said, "Take 'em all away."
Anywhere she goes, she drives her own car,
She even wants to drill up there in ANWR.
Sarah, Sarah Palin, Queen of the wild frontier.
She's a hard working Govenor, but she likes to play,
And she's a life time member of the NRA.
She's a great Mother, and a wonderful wife,
Everybody knows she's all PRO Life.
Sarah, Sarah Palin, Queen of the wild frontier.
She's an enviromentalist, with a plan to go Green,
Let's not forget that she's a beauty queen.
She's a conservationist, she likes clean air,
And she even got rid of the Bridge To No Where.
Sarah, Sarah Palin, queen of the wild frontier.
Now, the Republican Party is a dancin' a jig,
They know John McCain picked somebody big.
Someone said Obama's a doing good too,
I heard a big shout, "Obama WHO???."
Sarah, Sarah Palin, queen of the wild frontier.

typos don't matter when you're singin'

enviro-mentalist

ok it's not that amazing.

McCain's campaign is all about reaching for the voters who re-elected George Bush. He seems to be doing that fairly well. By election day, I expect McCain will have gathered in most of the flock.

When Obama wins, it will be mostly thanks to a big wave of new voters, not the conversion of Bush 2004 voters. Obama just has to swamp the old-guard Republican coalition with a bigger coalition than Gore or Kerry could assemble. I think he can do it.

I also expect a gazillion of stories about long lines and dysfunctional polling places again on election day. Why would the Republicans fix what's broken in their favor?

not the conversion of Bush 2004 voters

uh really? you sure?
